Today 5th Grade had a great first field trip attending Young Defenders Day at Fort McHenry! Here we learned what life was like during the War of 1812 and discussed the involvement of Patterson Park in the Battle of Baltimore. Students traveled to different stations set up around the Fort. Here we saw War of 1812 reenacters, watched and heard a cannon being set off, listened to songs that were sung during this time period, and got to explore the inside and outside of the Fort! We also got to unfold and hold a replica of the American Flag that was flying over Ft. McHenry during the War of 1812. Students got to share their knowledge with the Park Rangers as they discussed who made the flag, and who was inspired by this flag to write the national anthem. Quiz your children tonight to see if they remember! I hope your child shared some of the exciting activities we did today, they sure seemed to have a great time.
